Making a benefit claim

If you don't want to complete a benefits form online, you can download and print a paper form instead.

Find out which proofs we need to see when you make a new benefit claim, or make changes to your benefit claim

Let us know if there are people living with you, as this may change the amount of benefit you get.

If you have health, debt or other problems that make it difficult for you to pay rent to your landlord, you can ask us to pay your Housing Benefit straight to them

You need to keep us up to date about changes to your income, rent, the people living with you and other things that affect the benefits you get
